In yesterday’s post, Decorating our organizer with straight line twin needle quilting, we added twin needle, straight line grid quilting and decorative stitches to the front of our sewing machine needle organizer.

Today we’ll use our SCHMETZ twin needles to decorate the remaining section of our organizer front with twin needle free motion quilting.

Remember to read last month’s post free motion quilting with a twin needle – instant ribbon stippling magic for even more tips.

Prepare your machine for free motion quilting with a darning foot, twin needle and cotton thread.

I used a 2.5/80 SCHMETZ  twin needle to free motion quilt on my needle organizer.

The needles are far enough apart to give a nice separation to the design but close enough together for a somewhat subtle appearance.

This is a good size needle to learn how to move your hands with confidence when free motion quilting with a twin needle.

Create a combination of side by side stitching, ribbons and straight lines

A variety of looks are created by the direction that you move your hands.

Slow your machine down and work towards achieving smooth, fluid motion!

Moving your hands in a forward to backward motion will give separation between the two lines of stitching.

Moving sideways the two threads appear to become one as they stitch on top of one another.

When you stitch at an angle again the threads will appear to separate.

Combine forward and sideways stitching to create a ribbon effect.

Have fun creating new designs and practicing your free motion quilting with a SCHMETZ twin needle.

The twin needle decoration is now complete on the cover of our needle organizer.

Join me tomorrow when we will use our fabulous SCHMETZ twin needles to assemble the finished project.
